The competition among the coaching institutes is quite huge and they don’t want to leave any stone unturned in proving themselves superior to others. However, still there are limits which these coaching institutes should not cross as it may be harmful for students.
Recently, the coaching institute FIITJEE got slammed heavily because of an advertisement which they gave in a national daily. In this advertisement, FIITJEE shared the photo and personal details of a student who left them to join another institute and claimed that the student would have performed better if she had stayed with them. FIITJEE also referred to the other institute from Kota as Evil as it has a history of suicides.
Here is the ad:
The incident was shared on X by Indian Revenue Service officer, Katyayani Sanjay Bhatia who posted the photo of the advertisement with the caption, “A new low in advertisements @fiitjee. You are posting a picture of a child saying she performed badly because she left your institute! I have blurred the picture because I don’t believe in this disgusting way of claiming your superiority by belittling a girl child.”

In other tweets, Katyayani slammed the manner of advertising and also talked about the serious issue of suicides being used for taking advantage over the other institute.
She wrote, “We talk about parents putting pressure on kids for IIT JEE, but what about this manner of advertising where you shame a student for not performing? And claiming superiority by claiming that she would have performed had she been in your institute? Shameful @fiitjee”

Suicides in Kota are an issue that concerns us all above petty competition but claiming in this manner is cheap @fiitjee @EduMinOfIndia”
